Nut1/Hos1 and Sas2/Rpd3 control the H3 acetylation of two different sets of osmotic stress-induced genes
2019
Epigenetic information is able to interact with the cellular environment and could be especially useful for reprograming gene expression in response to a physiological perturbation. In fact the genes induced or repressed by osmotic stress undergo significant changes in terms of the levels of various histone modifications, especially in the acetylation levels of histone H3. Exposing yeast to high osmolarity results in the activation of stress-activated protein kinase Hog1, which plays a central role in gene expression control. We evaluated the connection between the presence of Hog1 and changes in histone H3 acetylation in stress-regulated genes. We found a parallel increase in the acetylati…
Inappropriate translation inhibition and P-body formation cause cold-sensitivity in tryptophan-auxotroph yeast mutants
2017
In response to different adverse conditions, most eukaryotic organisms, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, downregulate protein synthesis through the phosphorylation of eIF2α (eukaryotic initiation factor 2α) by Gcn2, a highly conserved protein kinase. Gcn2 also controls the translation of Gcn4, a transcription factor involved in the induction of amino acid biosynthesis enzymes. Here, we have studied the functional role of Gcn2 and Gcn2-regulating proteins, in controlling translation during temperature downshifts of TRP1 and trp1 yeast cells. Our results suggest that neither cold-instigated amino acid limitation nor Gcn2 are involved in the translation suppression at low temperature. Howev…
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hot1p regulated gene YHR087W (HGI1) has a role in translation upon high glucose concentration stress.
2012
Abstract Background While growing in natural environments yeasts can be affected by osmotic stress provoked by high glucose concentrations. The response to this adverse condition requires the HOG pathway and involves transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms initiated by the phosphorylation of this protein, its translocation to the nucleus and activation of transcription factors. One of the genes induced to respond to this injury is YHR087W. It encodes for a protein structurally similar to the N-terminal region of human SBDS whose expression is also induced under other forms of stress and whose deletion determines growth defects at high glucose concentrations.

Glicerīna transportsistēmas un Hog1 loma raugu šūnu dzīvotspējas saglabāšanā anhidrobiozes stāvoklī
2015
Šī darba mērķis bija izpētīt glicerīna transportsistēmu un Hog1p iespējamo lomu raugu šūnu dzīvotspējas saglabāšanā anhidrobiozes stāvoklī. Lai sasniegtu šo mērķi, izmantoja raugu Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4741 un tā izogēnos celmus, kuriem trūka viens vai vairāki gēni, kuri ir atbildīgi par glicerīna transportiera Stl1p, glicerīna eksporta kanāla Fps1p un regulatorās Hog1p MAP kināzes ekspresiju raugu šūnās. Darbam bija izvirzīti sekojošie uzdevumi: izpētīt S. cerevisiae BY4741 spējas pāriet anhidrobiozes stāvoklī; novērtēt glicerīna transportsistēmu Stl1p un Fps1p, ka arī Hog1p ietekmi uz raugu šūnu rezistenci pret dehidratāciju; izpētīt raugu spējas pārdzīvot osmotisko stresu un šīs ied…
